  Impact of Fertilization and Crop Roots on Microbial Nitrogen Transformation 2011, 27 (27):  18-22.  Abstract + ( 1079 )   PDF ( 1149999KB )   ( 1215 ) Soil microorganisms are the main body for N transformation. Soil organic matter and rhizodeposits are driven forces for microbial N transformation. The objective of this review was to address the effect of fertilizer input or organic matter amendments on nitrogen transformation aroused by soil microorganism. We found that fertilizer input or organic matter amendments had an effect on soil N transformation through indirect affecting photosynthates translocation and mineralization of labile organic matter, or directly providing solute for microorganism. As a result, fertilizer input and organic matter amendments impact microbial biomass, community structure, abundances of genes involved in nitrogen transformations or microbial produced enzymes. Crop roots affected microbial number and activity through rhizodeposits or residue return. Microorganisms mineralized soil organic mater or organic inputs according to their needs for C, N or energy. So soil organic mater content significantly affects microbial nitrogen transformation except for organic matter amendments. In conclusion, fertilization had direct/indirect effects on soil microorganism, accordingly had an effect on soil nitrogen forms, and consequently had an effect on crop N uptake.

  Effects of Short-term NaCl and Na2CO3 Stress on Recovery of Seed Germination of Medicago sativa L. 2011, 27 (27):  109-112.  Abstract + ( 1048 )   PDF ( 1306716KB )   ( 952 ) The present study explored the effect of short-term Na+ salt stress on characteristic of seed germination of M. sativa. The four environmental factors used in the experimental setup included salt type, salt concentration, temperature and stress duration. Seed germination rate (potential) was assessed. The result showed that the lowest final germination rate was obtained at 30℃ when salinity stress was removed. No persistent effect of temperature treatment was found. Early temperature stress affected the germination rate only in the first 3 days and no in the later days. Na2CO3 had a long-term inhibitory impact on germination and were significantly lower than NaCl in all measures. The final germination rate decreased gradually with the rise of salinity. There was substantial recovery of germination in the 5th day from salinity stress although germination in the first 3 days was inhibited at 250 mM concentration, indicating the short-term inhibitory effect of salt concentration. Similar effect could be observed for stress duration. Longer duration caused the lower final germination rate. Treatment for 30 h inhibited germination in the first 3 days and had higher recovery of germination in the 5th day. Thus, variations in these environmental factors appeared to play variously significant roles in recovery of germination of M. sativa from short-term Na+ salt stress.

  Research on the Soil Nitrogen Accumulation Characteristics under Traditional Fertilization in Crop Fields 2011, 27 (27):  141-147.  Abstract + ( 1111 )   PDF ( 1515075KB )   ( 1039 ) The research on the soil nitrogen (N) accumulation and transfer can be useful for understanding, explaining, or monitoring the process of nitrate leaching. Using soil inorganic N testing in different field treatments as main research method, this paper analyzed the soil N accumulation and transferring characteristics under the peasants' traditional fertilization in winter wheat/summer maize rotation fields. Results showed that NO3--N was the dominant N style remained in the winter wheat/summer maize rotation field. The soil NO3--N accumulation for conventional treatment ranged from 90.13 kg/hm2 to 426.97 kg/hm2 during the winter wheat growth period, and from 67.96 kg/hm2 to 204.32 kg/hm2 during summer maize growth period, respectively. The NO3--N accumulated in the soil which couldn’t be consumed by crop may be at potential risk of N leaching. Moreover, the paper indicated that besides of the crop consumption, the amount of N application and irrigation were all the main factors affecting the seasonal dynamic variation of soil N accumulation. Further research need to seek rational fertilization managements for improving N efficiency, reducing the agricultural non-point source pollution caused by N leaching loss.

  Simulation of Dynamics of Crop Biomass by Assimulation SAR Data into Crop Growth Model 2011, 27 (27):  161-167.  Abstract + ( 1169 )   PDF ( 1414455KB )   ( 1391 ) Biomass is one of the key indicators in crop condition monitoring, which can reflect the growth status of crop and can be closely related to crop yield. One of the methods for retrieving biomass from remotely sensed observations is through inversion of microwave canopy reflectance models based on vector radiative transfer equation. Many model inversion methods fail to account for variable biomass values at different crop growth stages. The objective of this preliminary study is to assimilate the biomass information retrieved from SAR data into the crop growth model to describe the biomass changes with crop growth and improve the accuracy of biomass estimation. Firstly the relationship of temporal biomass with backscatter coefficients retrieved from SAR data is analyzed, and then an empirical model is developed to estimate biomass. Then the Fletcher-Reeves method is developed to modify the parameters of the model by minimizing the difference between biomass simulated by the crop growth model and biomass inverted by SAR data. The results showed that simulated biomass values by the revised model introduced SAR data and the measured values were consistent, and the estimated biomass profile had been significantly improved. And the assimilation of real time and dynamic SAR data into crop growth model can calibrate crop model to actual crop growth conditions to improve accuracy of simulated biomass.

Infection assay against rats showed that the recovery time of infected rats which were treated by prepared antibody was shorter than those of without antibody introduced. Prepared polyclonal antibody against E.hermannii could be used as one of immune therapy methods for clinical cases caused by E.hermannii.

  Effects of Root-knot Nematodes on the Related Characters of Water Potential in the Root and Shoot of Cucumber Plant 2011, 27 (27):  308-311.  Abstract + ( 1250 )   PDF ( 1453541KB )   ( 713 ) To explore the reasons of cucumber plant infected with root-knot nematodes (RKNs), the effects of RKNs on the related characters of water potentials in the root and shoot of cucumber plant were studied through artificial inoculation. The results showed that, after RKNs infection, water potential in the root and shoot as well as shoot diameter of cucumber plant decreased. Soluble protein content in the root and shoot, as well as soluble sugar content in the shoot all rose significantly when inoculation rate was 6000 eggs per plant. Root activities increased slightly when the inoculation rate was 2000 eggs per plant, and then it reduced gradually with increased inoculation rate. Water potential in the shoot was significantly correlated with only root activities and shoot diameter. In contrast, significant correlations between water potential in the root and all the other indexes except for soluble sugar in the root were observed. Decrease in root activities and shoot diameter and excessive osmotic regulation in the root were the main reasons for water deficit in the root and shoot of cucumber plant infected with RKNs.

  Analysis of Relationship Between Meteorological Condition and the Occurrence and Development of the Third Generation of Cotton Bollworm in Shandong Province 2011, 27 (27):  312-316.  Abstract + ( 877 )   PDF ( 1475597KB )   ( 701 ) To research the relationship between meteorological condition and the third generation of cotton bollworm. Based on the amount of average eggs of the third generation of cotton bollworm, the damage area of cotton and "Penghua" the related meteorological conditions in Shandong Province were from 1969 to 2005. The results showed the change of meteorological condition has obvious influence for the third generation of cotton bollworm, especially in the highest air temperature and average relative humidity. The damage area of cotton was negative correlation with the highest air temperature of June and correlation with average relative humidity of the late of May. The amount of average eggs of the third generation of cotton bollworm was correlation with the highest air temperature of the beginning of July.
